Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 14 years in prison and fined PKR 1 million after being found guilty in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust land corruption case. His wife, Bushra Bibi, was also convicted, sentenced to 7 years, fined PKR 0.5 million, and arrested from the courtroom following the verdict. The accountability court, presided over by Judge Nasir Javed Rana, announced the much-anticipated verdict on Friday at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. The case involves allegations that Khan and his wife accepted land as a bribe from a real estate tycoon, resulting in significant losses to the national treasury. The convictions mark a significant setback for Khan, who has faced multiple legal challenges since leaving office.
